Durable Belt Solutions for Industrial Laundry & Textile Processing Equipment by Movendis
Industry Context
The industrial laundry industry serves hotels, hospitals, military bases, and large-scale laundromats — where equipment operates for long hours under high humidity, heat, and heavy mechanical loads. Power transmission systems in this field must be able to manage continuous use, fast cycle transitions, and precise motion for both washing and finishing stages.
Movendis delivers belts designed to endure thermal stress, steam exposure, and moisture while maintaining grip, alignment, and synchronization. Our solutions help reduce maintenance needs and enhance efficiency across washers, dryers, ironers, folders, and conveyors.
Application Categories
Tunnel Washers & Drum Washers
- Used for large textile loads in continuous cleaning systems.
- Belts must resist exposure to water, detergents, and heat.
- Movendis belts maintain dimensional stability despite frequent temperature fluctuations and high rotational forces.
Continuous Dryers
- Operate at high temperatures with constant drum rotation.
- Our belts are made with heat-resistant rubber compounds and provide non-slip motion control under load.
Ironers & Flatwork Finishers
- Drive rollers, belts, and tensioners for sheets, uniforms, and textiles.
- Requires perfect alignment and no vibration to avoid wrinkling or fabric damage.
- Movendis belts offer low-friction and anti-static properties.
Folding & Stacking Equipment
- Where belts guide textiles through precision folding arms and stacking platforms.
- Synchronized motion and anti-marking belt surfaces are key.
- Movendis provides timing and flat belts with minimal maintenance needs.
Textile Conveyor Systems
- Intra-facility material movement and handling.
- High uptime and long service life are essential.
- Our belts handle directional changes and payload shifts with reinforced tension cords.
Technical Highlights
Typical Failure Modes Solved
- Slippage due to humidity — Moisture-tolerant friction surfaces
- Vibration leading to wrinkling — Belts with controlled elasticity and damping
- Noise from fast cycles — Low-noise profiles reduce mechanical chatter
- Rapid belt degradation in steam zones — Heat- and detergent-resistant rubber polymers
